ScangaugeII Impressions
 

I ordered my ScangaugeII off of Amazon Sunday night. It arrived Tuesday morning. Very fast considering the shipping cost $0!

Install was easy, basically plug it in and place it where you want. I put it to the left of my gauge cluster, behind it. Visible but not obnoxious or in the way.

I set it to my engine being 2.6 liters, and 15 gallon gas tank. You cant set it to do 15.9, and I think I'd rather it think my tank is smaller than too large.

Overall, its cool. I get to see the difference in my fuel economy realtime, how it decreases on turns, or increases behind a huge truck. Overall, I like it.

i have mine setup to display intake temp, coolant temp, mpg and batt voltage.

coolant temp being the one i look at the most.

Mine shows Fuel consumption (Liters per hour), Intake Temperature, MPG, and Coolant temperature.

Battery voltage isnt important to me :D

I have mine set on mpg, battery voltage, intake temp, and coolant temp. I saw some vid on here, where the person had the intake manifold pressure display but he had a turbo setup :yumyum: ...

Hey now think about it, what are you guys avg intake temps on lets say a 60 to 70 or so degree (F) day?.

Mine are about 76 when its 60 and anywhere between 80-100 when its in the 70s...

I made my own CAI, and the temp reading is usually 0-5 degrees higher than what the car says on the dash as outside temp.

^^^^Hmmm...Yeah I may be getting a hella good deal on this aem intake I'm bidding on right now(ends in 5hrs) :fingersx: ...if win rlly interested to see the change in my intake temps

Are you able to use the manifold pressure display?...(noticing your setup)

the scangauge2 doesn't know what your car setup is like. So if you can do it, I can do it.

What I meant was do you get actual pressure reading from the scanguage being that you have a turbo?

i haven't checked. I can try next time I drive.

this thing sounds sick! thanks for putting up the review...

few questions though:

how did you mount it? maybe a pic or two...?

is the wiring just hanging out?

is it remotely helpful for anyone with a stock engine/intake/drive train? i haven't modded any of that on my car yet, but for some reason really wanna buy it just to have info on display, cause i'm into that. I drove around with an accelerometer in my car for a few months and loved it even though i rarely raced with it...

here's mine... the wire is routed around the door jam - inside the rubber parts, so it doesn't show till it gets on the dash.
